Junior teams train in the school stadium at Sandringham East Primary School (Holloway Road) and the hall at Sandringham Secondary College on Bluff Rd (enter via Lawson Pde).
Teams can elect to play games and not train. A reduced registration fee is available for those teams electing to forgo a weekly training slot.
Teams are encouraged to source their own coach. Parents who coach their son/daughter’s team will receive a $100 discount on fees. If teams are unable to source their own coach, the club will endeavour to find that team a coach. Please note this is not guaranteed. If successful, the team is required to pay a $150 Junior Coach Levy that will contribute towards the payment the coach receives at the end of the season. The club provides trainers at training sessions at Sandringham East Primary School and Sandringham Secondary College to help run training sessions. Each trainer is a Level 1 Basketball Coach and can be used as a mentor for some ideas or run the whole session each week.
Training is cancelled if the temperature is over 35 degrees at 3.30pm.

The age group cut off date is:
Autumn and Spring Seasons: December 31st the year that the season is in.
Players must play UNDER the age they are on December 31st.
i.e. if a player is 9 on December 31st they play U10, if they are 10 or 11 they play U12s, if they are 12 or 13 they play U14.
Bullits Basketball Club encourages players to play in their age group wherever possible.
The Southern Basketball Association Competitions By-Laws determine the domestic competition rules. The by-laws currently allow for players to play up one age group above their current age competition. Hence players are able to play up an age group with their friends if desired. Note there are different rules for Sabres Representative players that must be complied with. Refer to the Competitions By-Laws on the SBA website.
A team needs 5 players on the court and 2 or 3 players on the bench. Club policy is teams have up to 8 players. It is up to the individual teams if they wish to register with 9 players. When determining team size, consideration should be given as to whether players are involved in any other sports that may clash with basketball games (e.g. football in the winter season).
Maximum of 2
There is no limit. However if you play more than 3 games you would have to register and pay fees to play in the team.
